Chung described how her style is shifting since her birthday in November. “I’m really into a power shoulder and leaning more ’80s than ’60s since turning 40,” she says. “Kind of like Sharon Stone in Casino or Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface and it’s cocktail hour and I’m with a gang.”
She also says that what people see on social media isn’t a totally accurate depiction of her style. “I don’t think my friends would recognize that person because day to day I mostly wear jeans, jumpers (sweaters) and menswear,” she lists. Because she doesn’t have a full-length mirror she can’t shoot her reflection, so what gets shared are her event and going out looks which are captured by others.

What’s this? Style icon and perennial It girl Alexa Chung doesn’t own a full-length mirror? How does she know her look is working if she can’t see more than her head and shoulders in her bathroom mirror?
“You have to vibe it out. Do what feels right,” she shared after Chanel’s Metiers d’Art show in Manchester on December 7. Chung was kitted out in a tweed Chanel coat, black leather shorts, (non-Chanel) thermal vest, and black patent knee boots that, she moaned, are completely sold out (she was wearing borrowed samples).
